Woot! Just arrived!

1) Order date : 3/23/11 5:55pm ET

2) Shipment update status? : "Thunderstorms at Memphis hub may cause some service delays and disruptions within the U.S. today"

3) Shipped from : IRVING, TX

4) Shipped to : Norwalk, CT

5) Any updates along the way : IRVING, TX -> KEASBEY, NJ -> STAMFORD, CT -> NORWALK, CT

6) Arrival date : 3/31/11 1:30pm ET

Just received, woot! Odd thing is that although the package was plastic sealed, the power adapter inside had a rubber band tied around it looking as though the package has already been opened. Odd,... anyone else have a rubber band as opposed to a zip tie around their power adapter cord (like the usb cable)?

Otherwise, it looks great! Can't wait to mod it tonight!

It is here!!! Now the fun begins.

My version is 3389
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
mine just came. Got CWM installed, flashing VEGAN now. Honestly, screen is fine for me. Ive never even seen a IPAD so I dont know what im missing =D
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
just realized i didnt check what version mine is.... lol
[G Tablet General] mbsocol:
I received mine yesterday evening. Washington, DC.

Already installed clockwork and TnTL 4.3. Very stoked to begin working on this thing.
[G Tablet General] walcs:
Just got mine about an hour ago. Sat out in the California sun for a while since the fedex driver didn't knock on the door or anything. But it's charging right now. The screen doesn't look nearly as bad as people described it to be.
[G Tablet General] ballawana13:
Got mine yesterday (3/31/11). It was completely without charge so I couldn't do anything without plugging it in and getting it charged. Took a while to charge but got some basic settings started. Plan to root it on the weekend so I'm looking forward to seeing what the g tablet can do.
[G Tablet General] gqukyo:
Dang it, i'm in NorCal and I didn't get mine! :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] Gadget424:
1. 3/23/11 10pm-ish

2. None

3. Irving, TX

4. Lenexa, KS

5. Straight from Irving to Lenexa

6. Did't check.

So far TNT isn't too bad, but I do really want to get Android Market and/or AppBrain running, so I'll have to find out how to make that happen.
[G Tablet General] sambo989:
just received

Just received... anyone get the charger, but no 2 prong attachment that slides into the adapter? it kind of reminds me of the old blackberry chargers... right now, i cant even charge on the first use. are igos the only compatible chargers?

i emailed woot.com already...we'll see if they ship something out asap. kind of annoyed. :(
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
Now that's really a pi$$er. I'd be more than annoyed.

Dern.
[G Tablet General] Darkrift:
IT HATH ARRIVED!!

definately looks brand new, the wrapping became disfigured when removing the gtab from it. 0% batt, and charging slow as hell.

will wait for 20-30% charge before i flash anything
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
OK, go ahead and flame me for this one: as you probably guessed, the prong attachment came in a separate little plastic bag. Did you stick your paws into the two "tubes" on the underside of the packing, and check if it's stuck in there? I'm all but sure you tried it, but maybe you can file my question under "it never hurts to ask".

-Matt
[G Tablet General] Darkrift:
flashed cwm 0.8, then vegan7, stuck at recovery, wont go past it now :(
[G Tablet General] sambo989:
i tore that box apart and all the innards... it defn wasn in there
[G Tablet General] HappyBABA:
Anyone confirm no plastic screen cover?

Can anyone else confirm that their gTab arrived without a protective anti-static cover and with rubber bands around their cables? Am I the only one? I watched the unboxing videos on youtube and although my tablet came shrink wrapped, it def looked like it was a slightly used device. There are even scratches on the back cover.
[G Tablet General] intersysx:
Got mine today - no anti-glare covering, twist ties around cables
[G Tablet General] mikehenya:
Came today! I though ordering at 1:08am I would get it a heck of a lot sooner than this!:( All in all, not as slow as most of my woot orders though!

Tablet arirved NJ this afternoon.:)

I neeed to bring it to Toronto might take a week for it.:mad:

Too bad woot doesn't ship to canada.

Will post as soon as I get it.
[G Tablet General] 96shox:
Hey so I have a new(i think) G-tab, just got it from Woot.

My home screen is a standard android screen with water and leaves in the background.

If you touch the screen the water ripples...etc...Im guessing this is not the regular g-tablet software:confused::confused::confused:
[G Tablet General] evilkokonut:
Anyone else have a dead pixel on theirs?
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Check your box, it should be in a separate bag.
[G Tablet General] richierich1212:
I received mine today but didn't know it was at my door until the UPS guy came at 8pm delivered something else, lol. It's charging and I'll play with it tomorrow.
[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Vallejo, CA. Arrived today.
[G Tablet General] boarder2k7:
I got mine in this morning's FedEx dropoff.

I've been using woot for years now and have had nothing but good things from them.

The one gripe I've had is the same with all online places I have ordered from, including Newegg and TigerDirect, is that they don't pack hard drives properly for shipment. I've given up on EVER seeing a properly packed drive from any online source...

My Tap UI version is 1.1-3588

I'll be rooting it and loading something new tomoroww I think.

-B
[G Tablet General] richierich1212:
crazy how your post was right after mine. I'm from Vallejo as well. LOL.
[G Tablet General] LowSky:
Newegg has gotten a lot better. My last 3 HD purchases were all in plastic cases then bubble wrap then a small box and that box wrapped in paper. All worked perfectly
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
w00tab just delivered! On charge as I type. At work w/no wireless so may wait until I get home to boot up.

Or maybe not :p
[G Tablet General] jk147:
Received it yesterday morning, been playing with it. Def. upgrade to the latest, going to try and root it later today.

Since Signature Service was not requested Driver left it at the door. Spotted the truck on the way out of my development. When I opened my door there it was.

Checked that all parts included.

First impression after unboxing was that mine was def not a floor model or return.

Protective wrap was on and all cables appeared original factory (twist ties) :D

Battery needed a charge.

When I booted it Classic Home came up.

My Tap UI version is 1.1-3389

Water and leaves live wallpaper

Now that I have a spare I plan to root and tryout some ROMs :D
[G Tablet General] Citi:
Just received my tablet in CT, unfortunately the SD card seems to be broken as it wont lock in my micro card. I will be contacting woot about an exchange, a shame to since everything else worked great and it was brand new
[G Tablet General] arentol:
Shut it down, charge it fully, turn it back on. It sounds like you didn't go through the full setup process yet. That can happen if you don't charge it first, and it is possible to screw it up a little if you do to much to it without having completed initial setup.
[G Tablet General] esacteksab:
Just received mine today...It's charging.
[G Tablet General] LuvDog:
It took forever for my initial charge... but before I even clicked on a single app, I had clockwork mod installed and a new ROM :-)

Then loaded up angry birds for my son and I haven't seen it since.
[G Tablet General] juanaraya92679:
Got my gtab today... looks new but, is it spposed to have a plastic protector on the screen? It was just in a plastic bag. I feel like this was a floor model or refurb. It already had angry birds installed, is that normal? I haven't had time to check any thing else, its charging.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
The newer ones don't come w a screen protector.

Jum
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Received my new gtab from woot on Friday morning. Looked new to me, but after charging for several hours and powering on, it had 3389, and the water/leaves live wallpaper. Also, Pandora, Angry Birds, and think Color Notes.

Got OTA for 3588, and checked it out. Power showed 100% w green light.

Only problem I ran into was w adb (posted about that on a separate thread).

Looks ok.

Jim
[G Tablet General] djincnj:
Quite a few of us booted to classic home with the leaves and water, no issue if you want tnt just switch over
[G Tablet General] GoinEasy9:
Got mine one 4/1 (yesterday). When I got home I started charging it. Today it's charged and just waiting for me to get home from work. Then the fun begins.

For the complete stats of my transaction see post #310:
[G Tablet General] 96shox:
The strange thing is my stock G-tablet has an option for Cyanogen in the root menu
[G Tablet General] thedarkknight008:
Dead or stuck pixel (RED)

Yep, right in the middle of the screen. Stayed RED no matter what. I contacted WOOT and they emailed a FedEx pre-paid tag as well as immediately shipped a new one out. Whole process took about 3~4 days if I remember correctly. No problems with the replacement. Rooted and running Vegan 5.1.1 happily so far :-)
[G Tablet General] litezout:
So I have one dead pixel, wan't really concerned with it. But don't know anything about these screens... is it a sign of trouble to come? I'm already running Vegan, do I need to reload stock and exchange? I've had LCD's with dead pixels for years without and further issue.

You'll be behind me, I bought about 8 am. Plus, MS is closer to TX. :D
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
Thanks, that's a cool update.

I don't want to be a party-pooper, but Woot newbies should be ready for some serious slowness. Of course it depends on your geographical location, but I haven't received anything from them in under 2 weeks (damn smartpost!).

If indeed they go out this week or even next Monday/Tuesday, it should still take most of next week for them to travel. I think they're shipped on the backs of donkeys...

-Matt
[G Tablet General] numberingravens:
I've bought a bunch of items from Woot.com. They're legit, shipping can be slow. I generally don't expect delivery until about 10 days after the item(s) were ordered.

I am also super excited to play with this thing. I've been wanting a tablet for work/school but didn't want to spend the $400+ to get one. I wanted to Xoom, but refused to sign another contract with Verizon or pay for the 3/4G capability that I really didn't need/want.

I also look forward to reading through most of this forum which seems to be very knowledgeable and helpful.

[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
I hope I'm not misunderstanding, but if they're going Smartpost that means FedEx hands over the package to your local USPS within some distance (in my case, it's oddly over 120 miles from where I live).

With Woot, that has worked out OK. It still means about 2 weeks for me from when I push the buy button (we're all so used to overnight shipping!). But--another crazy story--I've had smaller items get "stuck" at the "sortation center", where the handoff occurs. I was told by the USPS customer service: "the entire building is automated...once your package enters the system it doesn't leave until it gets optically scanned and sorted by the machine." I had a picture of the final scene from Terminator 1 in my mind! Anyway, the package I was waiting for kept circulating through the system for over 3 days. They said nobody could go in and grab it! :(

[G Tablet General] donatom3:
No No, Woot specifically states if it's smart post or ground on the item page, and on the G Tablet it said Ground, not smartpost so no 2-3 day delay from the post office.
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
Wow, thanks that's great news. :) I appreciate your clarifying!

I should probably note that considering what Woot offers (other than the random bag of crap, I mean), the shipping time is a reasonable trade-off. I just didn't want first-timers to think it would be like Amazon or Newegg!

-Matt
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Oh yeah it definitely won't be as quick, but atleast that won't be the post office's fault this time.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
How are you all seeing order status?

I go to woot.com, click My Account and see my order listed, but it says click on order number, but I don't see anything to click.

Jim
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
Noone I know has gotten a shipped confirmation email yet. Generally I've gotten shipped confirmations from Woot after it's been picked up. I ordered at 3am so I should be ahead of most people in this thread.

Your tracking number will show up via email on on the page that says

"your order is in.

YOU'RE ALL SET NOW.

click here to view your receipt."

Right under view receipt it'll say.

"Tracking number(s) for this order:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - SMARTPOST" In this case it'll say Ground since that's how they said they'd ship them.
[G Tablet General] clintre:

[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
I really hope some of us start getting tracking info soon!
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
Here's what I predict: on Monday or Tuesday, a few will start to get shipping notices, and the rest of us will feel mildly envious. Then packages will start showing up mid-late next week, and those of us at the end of the line (I bought mine at 6PM, sheesh what's wrong with me!?!?!?) will starting feeling downright depressed and resentful as the "I GOT IT!!!" messages begin to flow. ;)

I'm really a nice guy, so I don't know why I'm turning into the wet blanket on this thread!!! :confused: I'll try not to be such a buzzkill...I guess it's the pre-shipment angst!

-Matt
[G Tablet General] donatom3:

[G Tablet General] saturnspike:
Can you check to see what firmware it arrived with? Or do you mean you just got tracking info?

Mine was shipped today via fedex 30 mins ago

Mild envy setting in early!!!! Ordered around 1pm EST, no way I'm gonna see anything yet. Leaving for Disney end of next week, thinking of making a sacrifice to the shipping gods. At least we're seeing fedex.
[G Tablet General] wingzero2085:
I just got my tracking # about 2 hours ago .. ordered my gtab at 7:45am PDT. ;) Gee... I wonder if my husband will let me tinker with his new tablet or make me stick to my own.
[G Tablet General] chrishaw:
I waffled all the way to 8:10PM (Central). I'll let you all know what the back of the line is, though I think I saw something on woot's comments saying they were getting a bunch out today and the rest monday. Hope that holds.
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
I know, huh? :) But my prediction was way off...they're coming by the bunches already. The good news is I can stand the heat...I'm staying in the kitchen!

My wife tells me: "A home with a happy wife/mother is a happy home." I guess my advice is feel free to play with your husband's and if he complains, tell him what you read on XDA! :)

-Matt
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
Yeah, I'm CST too. Is it OK for me to say I'm glad I'm not the last person to order? It's not pretty to gloat, but it's all I got.

Actually at this rate, if mine ships Monday or Tuesday I'll be pretty happy.

-Matt
[G Tablet General] walcs:
Haha, im on the same boat as you, I ordered about 6 Pacific time, pretty sure our tablets will be shipped Monday or Tuesday. Good thing is that Fed-Ex delivers on Saturdays too
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
I ordered around 9am EST, but I dont have access to my work email right now, and I see nothing on my WOOT Account, do you guys who have gotten emails see it listed on your woot account?

I ordered at 9:30AM MTN time. Still no tracking number. :(

Yea, I got plenty of packages on Saturdays from Fed-Ex, since I buy stuff on eBay. That's where Fed-Ex is better than UPS, UPS doesn't do Saturday deliveries.

[G Tablet General] someone0:
Ordered just w/in a few hours after the opening and received tracking in email around 2:30PM pacific time. Tracking not working yet though.
[G Tablet General] gadgetrants:
Hey guys, I just remembered a neat trick I learned at Woot...probably not needed here, but it's worked for me in cases when the tracking notices went out so slowly that I actually got the shipment BEFORE the email!

Take the 8-digit order number that's on your Woot order status page, and then enter that as your reference number at fedex.com on the "Track by Reference" page: https://www.fedex.com/AltRefTracking?cntry_code=ca_english. I think you just leave the Account number blank. If it's in their system, it'll show up. :)

Tracking number works now. Shipped from Irving, TX VIA FedEx Home Delivery. Transit time to get to Conway, AR is showing as one day so it should be here tomorrow. FedEx Home Delivery delivers on Saturday but does not deliver on Monday so I'm not sure if they'll even be able to ship the remaining ones out Monday.
[G Tablet General] Enectic:
Yup! Estimated delivery finally updated. Should be here tomorrow! Awfully surprised I'm getting something from Woot only 3 days after I ordered it! I'll be sure and post when I get it and what firmware I get.
[G Tablet General] hungarianhc:
My card got charged today, but I haven't received any shipment info. I'm guessing it will ship out on Monday. The google honeycomb news has definitely tempered my excitement, but I'm still really looking forward to this! To be honest, I'd really love to run meego on it....

yes i cant wait either. already looking at roms and one of the articles about replacing the screen.

Reminds me of days past when I flashed roms and updated hardware. Opps still doing it again and again after 25 yrs playing with computers on my laptops and umpc's etc. great to see new blood and a wonderful site for support for newbies in the android world like myself and others. special thanks to roebeet...you are a champion on this site and others for all the work i see that has been and is being done on this site.
